Payroll giving
Payroll giving via ‘Give As You Earn’ is a simple and effective way to donate a regular amount to Alexander Devine. It’s very easy to set up, and it allows us to plan ahead, knowing that there is a regular income stream coming in.
You can donate straight from your gross salary, and receive immediate tax relief, so if you donate £25, it will only cost you £19.50. If you would like to contribute in this way, just contact your Payroll Department and ask if they already operate a ‘Give As You Earn’ scheme and, if they do, say that you would like to sign up.
A gift in your will
Leaving a gift in your will is a lasting way that you can support us and help us continue to reach more children and their families in the future.
Any donation, small or large, will be gratefully received. Whatever you decide, your solicitor will be able to advise you on the best option for your circumstances. If you would like further information about how to do this, please do get in touch with our team fundraising@alexanderdevine.org.
Gifts in memory
Fundraising in memory of a loved one can make a fitting tribute to that special person and the funds raised will help future generations.
You can do this using our Just Giving page. Click on the ‘Fundraise for us’ button, log in or register and then select us as your charity. You can then create a ‘Remembering Someone’ page and invite people to donate.
If you are organising or attending the funeral of family or close friend, you might like to commemorate their life by donating to Alexander Devine rather than buying or sending flowers. Contact us on 01628 822777 or email fundraising@alexanderdevine.org for more information.
